Review titled First visit to a Walk in Centre - 5 star experience.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by ROSEMARIE LAWSON - Posted on 09 June 2024
I was advised to attend the Walk in centre in Wakefield as it was a weekend, and my doctors were closed. I was really impressed with how slick the service was. From walking in to leaving I was completely happy. The waiting area seemed busy and I envisaged a long wait. However the Receptionist had told me the wait may be about an hour as there were 3 ANPs working that day. I was called in after less than 40 mins and the person I saw was friendly, yet very professional. I was there as I had developed a rash which I thought may be Shingles. He put my mind at rest, and said straight away that it definitely wasn't shingles. He gave me a thorough examination and told me I had Scarlet Fever. It was as well I had attended when I did, as I was given a prescription for 2 lots of tablets including antibiotics. The waiting area was pleasant and clean ,and the girl on Reception was very accommodating. All in all, this is the first time I have used a walk in service, and I came away thinking how lucky we are that the NHS provide us with this extra layer of comfort when needed.

Was advised to go here via NHS 111 service only to be told at 19.30 there was no appointments left! Paid for a taxi (£14) to get there & now will have to go to A&E, terrible do not recommend!

Review titled Terrible
Rated 1 star out of 5

Arrived at 7.30pm after being referred by 111 to be told there was no appointments left even though it shuts at 10pm. Reception staff rude and unprofessional and asking me why I have come here infront of the whole waiting room. This is the second time I have been turned away when coming a number of hours before this service shuts. They need to put on their website that they are taking no more patients, also let 111 know for them to stop sending patients and making them travel long distances to be turned away, or at the bare minimum put a sign on the front door saying no appointments left. Why have a walk in service if you can’t walk in????

Arrived 2 pm Monday. Room full of patients. I waiting 1 hr 45 mins and only 3 people were seen too. Waiting time information was woefully under-estimated. Decided to leave and seek help elsewhere!

Review titled Poor experience

Attended at 9pm to be told all the appointments were taken and we should have phoned, there were 3 others waiting in the waiting room but was told due to them closing at 10pm we wouldn’t be seen. Was advised to attend A&E for tonsillitis having not being able to get a GP appointment. Staff were rude and had the attitude they didn’t care either way.

Went on Sunday had 2hr wait as was busy. Had to take my daughter to see about infected big toe. Nurse practitioner was really nice helpful and patient as she has autism. Got the antibiotics needed and managed to get prescription done on that day. Really clean as well.

I visited the walk-in centre when I couldn’t get appointment at my doctors. Receptionist very friendly, I was seen in an hour and half by a lovely doctor who prescribed me antibiotics for inner ear infection and collected from the chemist same day no problem. I would recommend anyone going if unable to get in at their doctors.

Review titled Fantastic service

Went at 10am Sunday morning to be faced with a full waiting room, at least 12 people in front of me. Called in at 11.05, dealt with extremely efficiently with empathy and came away with a prescription. We are lucky to have such a good service. Thank you
